Welcome to this briefing on Data Binding. :lol:
Asp.NET the Web development backbone of .NET is largely dependent on Data to develop Data driven Web applications ex ,Shopping Application that needs list of items from database ,sites like Amazon store all their Info in their databases.

What does a database got to do with data Binding you may ask?
Yes ,all of the data that a Web applications that you develop are some how dependent on data in one or the other way,So you cannot separate data from asp.net.

Now coming to the term , Data Binding is done in order to Bind / Apply / Show the data from the Data source [database , xml file ,Flat files ] into the control that holds the data.

These are some of the controls that work totally on data ,
DataList , DataGridView , BulletedList ,Dropdown list , Listbox and goes on...:cursing::cursing:

What happens when you do not bind the control with the datasource is that,the data from the data source does not display in the controls list :mad:

Databinding is done inorder to tell the control that " This is where you need to get the data from "
and to the Datasource " Make sure that the control gets values only from you and update any changes"

If you Haven't Understood a bit out of this ,dont worry I am making a Tut just for you:w00t::w00t:
